Here's to a small victory...

I'm relatively new here and completely ready to change my life. I've been reading your stories and posts and I must say that all of your successes have helped to keep me inspired. I can't wait to post my own before and after photos...

But, on to my victory for the week...

I'm a mildly active mom, but never had the drive to exercise. I've started exercise programs in the past, but never anything I followed through with...

I've been with MFP for just shy of 2 weeks now. But my victory for the week is that I walked at least 2 miles every day this week! I love the way I feel when I get back and feel as if I accomplished something! I'm hoping to continue this course as the weeks wear on and school starts...

Thanks everyone, for posting your own success stories!

My bf and I go walking every morning at5 am and walk for an hour. It is a great feeling to be home at 6 am and know that the exercise for the day is done. I love the way I feel after I exercise. Congrats on starting a walking routine.

:flowerforyou: Here's to you! It can be so hard to stay motivated, but you are doing great! Keep it up, girl. It's well worth the effort.

Awesome job! It's all about fortitude! Plus, do it long enough, and you'll start LOVING those walks. There might be a period of time here soon where you think, "Do I have to?" (at least, there was for me!) but once you break through that you're golden!

Good job - way to stay motivated. I just joined, but haven't started working out yet - decided to focus on my eating for a few days before I add in too much.....but I'm a work in progress:ohwell:

Thanks everyone...I hope to continue this progress. The hour or so I'm away is a nice respite from the doldrums of child-rearing!

At some point I'd like to start jogging, but I'm still a little self-conscious about running in public...

I've actually heard that walking is better for you than jogging. I've heard walking burns just as many calories, but is much easier on your joints!!
